nine Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 The defense is definitely executing better and seems to have at least slowed the bleeding.....but even with the recent improvements, they're still giving up almost 30 points per game. They've stepped it up on 3rd downs and the secondary play has improved considerably..... but the pass rush is still mehhhh and the red zone defense is still quite porous. They obviously made some critical adjustments after the shakeup up a few weeks ago....but they still have a ways to go before they can be called a good defense.

Watching Byard get singled out and picked on yesterday was concerning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been playing out of position almost the whole year, but yeah that was tough to watch. You never like to see that type of look in a player’s eyes where they know there isn’t shit they can do. He did have a great open field tackle on a big 3rd down play that seemed to get his head right. He was better in the second half. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He just seems to get lost in man coverage and even when he's in position he almost looks surprised when the ball arrives. It's not a good look. He is much better playing a single-high or deep third. He's never been an an amazing tackler but he almost looks hesitant to make contact this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate to say it, but he’s been one of the weak links. Glass half full approach, we know he’s extremely talented. He could easily turn it around as the defense solidifies around him. If we can get the defense humming going into the playoffs we are a dangerous team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guts Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 I think Teair Tart is proving he can play in this league. He's made a handful of impact plays the past few games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely offers more than Dickerson at this point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakingeek Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 It all got better when we got Borders and King. We were able to start getting more pressure on the QB. Not necessarily big sack numbers but enough to keep the QB from standing in the pocket and picking us apart. The Colts stayed with us until we started making Rivers move the pocket.

FreakofLegend Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Everybody is saying “can’t wait to get Jackson back,” I’m 100% on the Borders train. Like don’t get me wrong a HEALTHY Jackson would be amazing, but I seriously doubt we will have a 100% healthy Jackson this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
japan Posted November 30, 2020 Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Not sure about the defense. That whole game changed on the Colts LT going out. Rivers became skittish and started feeling heat. Before the LT went out it looked like the first meeting. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
